The only reason Puljujarvi signed an extension with Karpat is so that he has a guaranteed place to play next season. European training camps and their season will begin before the NHL playoffs are over, and you cant participate in those things without a contract. I'm like 99.9% sure his new deal has an NHL out clause and that he'll be back in Edmonton once their playoffs are done. Holland is probably managing a few other things before he worries about contracts.
Nevermind that Kravtsov has like zero value against Puljujarvi. Liiga is a much stronger league than the VHL, and even Kravtsov's numbers in the AHL are pretty lackluster for a guy in his draft +2 season. If Kravtsov couldn't stick in the second best league in the world, why would Edmonton trade a guy they can plug in their middle six for a struggling prospect?
